GFDL experiment name = CM2Q-h1_SresB1_y2. PCMDI experiment name = SRESB1 (run1). Initial conditions for this experiment were taken from 1 January 2001 of the climate of the 20th century experiment named CM2Q-d2_1861-2000-AllForc_h1. Several time varying forcing agents used during the first 100 years of this CM2Q-h1_SresB1_y2 experiment were based on output of the MOZART global atmospheric chemistry climate model when driven with the SRES B1 emission scenarios. For the CM2Q-h1_SresB1_y2 experiment volcanic aerosols were zero, land surface cover types were time invariant, and solar irradiance varied seasonally based upon late 20th century averages but with no interannual variation. All forcing agents were held constant after year 2100.

The GFDL Data Portal (http://nomads.gfdl.noaa.gov/) provides access to NOAA/GFDL's publicly available model input and output data sets. From this web site one can view and download data sets and documentation, including those related to the GFDL CM2.0 model experiments run for the IPCC's 4th Assessment Report and the US CCSP.

Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) CM2.0, SRESB1 (run 1) 550 ppm stabilization experiment (SRES B1) output for Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) and US Climate Change Science Program (CCSP). GFDL experiment name = CM2Q-h1_SresB1_y2. Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) experiment name = SRESB1 (run1). Initial conditions for this experiment were taken from 1 January 2001 of the climate of the 20th century experiment named CM2Q-d2_1861-2000-AllForc_h1. Several time varying forcing agents used during the first 100 years of this CM2Q-h1_SresB1_y2 experiment were based on output of the MOZART global atmospheric chemistry climate model when driven with the SRES B1 emission scenarios.

All forcing agents were held constant after year 2100.

Note: This model output is presented on the model's tripolar grid. The North Pole singularity is avoided by using this nonregular grid north of 65N. More information about the ocean and sea ice models' grid can be found at http://nomads.gfdl.noaa.gov/.
